Motion:
“That ICPA Qld lobbies the Department of Education, and other relevant departments, to ensure that the surrounds of Department housing in Rural and Remote areas are maintained”.
Explanation:
Due to the often-transient population in Rural and Remote locations, gardens, and surrounds of Department housing in Rural and Remote areas often suffer from neglect and as such look very unappealing from the street and unwelcoming for new arrivals. As part of the campaign to attract and retain teachers, as well as other public servants to Rural and Remote areas, accommodation must be well maintained. It is an unrealistic expectation to assume that short term tenants will invest time and energy into the garden.
